Unemployed wedding planning

Thanks for the info. I am actually signed up with them and I think about every other legal temp agency. It has just been a waiting game and hoping that someone has some temp work available. I got a couple one day gigs from another agency. I just keep sending them emails or calling just as reminders so that they know I am still looking!

Wow! That's great info on the contest. I continuously am trolling blogs looking for contests for photography, venue, catering, florists, different things like that. There are many of them out there and I try to participate any chance I get. I haven't won anything as yet, but you know what they say, "you have to be in it to win it". Definitely, will check this one out.

I think this was the perfect place, cause so many of us on here are looking for ways to save money and budget appropriately.

I hear you. I will be putting in prayers for all of you future brides out there. This time is stressful. We should all (as they say) count our blessings of having the love of our lives at our sides. I know my friends are constnatly telling me how blessed I am to have found someone as they deal with the toads of the world yet sometimes I get so frustrated I'm just like YOU HAVE A JOB!!!!!! Don't tell me about being blessed! LOL But deep down I know we are only given as much as we can handle and honestly, who can have it all? We just have to be thankful for what we do have and keep on the lookout.

The whole teacher thing....I hope that the governors plan goes through as well in NJ. I know a lot of teachers not finding work and I find that so disgusting. But that's another story. Teachers deserve a lot more respect than they are getting.

I'm a recent Jersey girl, now in PA and now unemployed for the 2nd time in a year (first time was because I moved from NJ to PA). I just found out this past weekend and I am pretty upset. I am really trying hard to be positive and I feel sad that I am now re-thinking so many things regarding the wedding. The good thing is that most everything is already paid for. The rest I will be reconsidering.

I hope I am eligible for unemployment (this whole NJ to PA transfer thing has me concerned) so I can at least cover my personal bills.

In the meantime, I'm part of a book club and I am applying to almost every job out there...keeping my options open. The only decision that has to be made right now is if I get a job offer.
